W/ records espeically regarding Flacco is misleading (and that is a great playoff record, much better than QBs that are better than him, especially when you factor how many of those wins were on the road, in the playoffs) because, early in his career he has played terrible in games they won and great in games they lost. His numbers in that AFC Championship were great and he threw a game winning TD pass in that game that was dropped by Lee Evans, then the kicker missed the kick, losing out on an opportunity to win in OT. This 4-0, w/ one of the greatest playoff performances by a QB in history, 2-0 on the road against the top two teams in the AFC, Denver & New England, and the SF defense is nothing to sneeze at.
